Is Marvel Rivals coming to Nintendo Switch 2?

In addition to past leaks, new comments from a Marvel Rivals producer suggest the popular hero shooter could eventually launch on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Marvel Rivals has set the bar very high when it comes to competitive hero shooters. Since the game was fully launched, players have been singing its praises as devs continue to add a plethora of content, freebies, and even exciting Easter Eggs—showing their passion for bringing the IP to life.

Given how popular the game has become, combined with the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, many fans have been wondering whether NetEase’s free-to-play shooter will be one of the titles released for the next-gen console.

Leaked details and comments from developers indicate that could be the case, so here are all the details we’ve gathered so far.

Marvel Rivals port for Switch 2 reportedly in the works

At the time of writing, Marvel Rivals isn’t among the games confirmed to be available upon Nintendo Switch 2’s launch. 

However, on January 23, 2025, leaker eXtas1s claimed in a post on X that developers are apparently working hard to have the game available as soon as possible after the next-gen console’s launch.

Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu has since addressed the matter in an IGN interview at the 2025 DICE Summit in February.

When asked about a possible Switch 2 release, Wu told the publication that NetEase has been in talks with Nintendo. “We’re already in contact with Nintendo and working on some development kits. And whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we’re open to that,” he said.

The producer further explained that the reason Marvel Rivals didn’t hit Switch is because the hardware wouldn’t “provide a great experience for our gameplay.” If Switch 2 can do as much, Wu maintains the team is “open” to porting it over.

Leaker and insider PHBrazil has previously described the Nintendo Switch 2 as: “Powerful enough that basically every third party is considering supporting it with its most ambitious AAA titles,” before going on to mention that this is “very different” from the past.

Given the size of the existing player base, it’d only make sense for NetEase to release the game on Switch 2 later down the line to gain more profit.

Still, regardless of the platform, many players hope the devs will soon add cross-progression to allow players to swap between devices seamlessly.
